Say F*ckity Hi To The Peter Capaldi Era On 'Doctor Who' With Capaldeyes

While us Americans were trapped under pounds of Duck Dynasty wrapping papers, 8.3 million Brits were celebrating Christmas by staring at a magical glowing box. The Matt Smith-era came to an end on Doctor Who last night, which is both good and bad: the bad, Matt Smith was charming in a floppy puppy kind of way; the good, PETER F*CKING CAPALDI. He’s the angry Doctor the show both wants and needs, and his first words were:

OK, not really, they were actually something about kidneys, but a man can dream. Here’s what actually happened.

And thanks to Whovian Leap, now you can download your very own Peter Capaldi eyes.

To quote the relevant portion of the Amy Pond opening monologue from Series 5: “He’s called the Doctor. He comes from somewhere else. He’s got a box called the TARDIS that’s bigger on the inside and can travel anywhere in time and space. I ran away with him. And we’ve been running ever since. “

He is a cloned lesbian…shit no that’s Orphan Black, he is super powered guy doing community service who constantly kills people shit no that’s Misfits….he is a guy with a dalmatian fetish who runs an asylum no wait that’s wrong as well. Aww fuck it. Just watch it.

People will tell you to start with the 2005 show. And that is the best. but i will tell you to watch the 1996 television movie first and then go to the 2005 show. The movie is not that good and the 2005 show doesn’t continue exactly after the movie (the doctor is even the next regeneration), but Paul McGann is a great Doctor and shouldn’t be forgotten.

The Eccleston and Tennant years were fantastic, but you could really start with the Matt Smith era and be fine. Granted, you’d miss out on some of the series’ best episodes if you skip 9th and 10th Doctors.

I recently started watching Doctor Who and I started with the reboot from 2005, and I’m glad I did. Of the guys, Matt Smith is my least favorite. I actually liked Christopher Eccleston a lot and when it changed over to David Tennant, I was a little disappointed. He did grow on me though, and is probably my favorite of the bunch. Matt Smith has his moments, but I just don’t find him very likable.

As someone who has watched nearly 90% of all Who (classic and revived), I’d say start from the start of the revived series or from the third series episode “Smith and Jones.”

I’d avoid the 1996 TV movie until you’ve adjusted to the new series and some of the classic series because it is seriously a fucking awful story. Good direction, great acting from Paul McGann but just truly fucking awful script that is a clusterfuck of older stories mixed in with a regeneration story. It’s just…painful.

Am I the only one who thought Matt Smith’s Doctor reminiscing about Amy RIGHT IN FRONT OF Clara was wort of weird? It’s like a guy who goes out on a date and talks about his ex the entire time. Don’t get me wrong, Amy is probably my favorite companion ever (And for context, it goes; Amy > Donna > Clara > Rose > Martha) but learn to keep things in the past, DW (and no, I didn’t mean for that to be a ‘time’ joke).

I love sci-fi and I’ve really tried to get into Doctor Who, but I just can’t seem to. I know the campiness is supposed to be part of the charm, but when the biggest threats in your universe are a bunch of trash cans with plungers glued on to them, I have a hard time accepting that they’re supposed to be a legitimate threat.

I’ve seen like 3 episodes of this show, but one of them had like a Dalek mothership, and like this Krang-style brain thing that was like the Head Dalek, I guess. He was freaky and vile, and thus, it seems the chubby R2d2 suits are just their armor, I guess?

Framers, yes. The Daleks look sort of like deformed octopi from the genetic mutations to make them perfect soldiers with no feelings. The species may look a bit corny in the armor, but their backstory is quite great.
